21 Inc has been a company capturing the imagination of many digital currency enthusiasts all over the world. Although some people might argue the steep price for this tiny device – roughly US$400 – is not worth paying, there is much more to this concept than just a plug-and-play Bitcoin miner or Bitcoin node.

Many people, including Andreas M. Antonopoulos, have started experimenting with the developer sandbox environment found on the device itself. This is also one of the primary goals for the 21 Bitcoin computer, as the product is designed to make digital currency development more accessible and appealing to novice users.

So far, various types of projects are being coded as we speak, all of which take advantage of the 21 Inc Bitcoin Computer. Some of these projects may sound a bit far-fetched, but it just goes to show how this innovative technology allows people to think way outside of the box. While no one might be looking to analyse and sell their genes any time soon, it is one of the many use cases for the 21 Bitcoin Computer.

One of the more appealing projects to mainstream consumers is how the 21 Bitcoin Computer can be used as a hardware tool to sell Wi-Fi access to other people. Andreas M. Antonopoulos has created an experimental script, called WifiPortal21, which accepts bitcoin payments in exchange for Wi-Fi access during a particular period.

There are so many opportunities and possibilities waiting to be explored by [aspiring] developers all over the world. Putting together people with the same passion for the 21 Bitcoin computer seems to be a smart movie, and thus the first 21 Bitcoin Miners Meetup will be organized in the San Francisco area on March 1st.
